Great family and couples site. Spotlessly cleaned and well laid out, friendly and helpful staff.
This was our first time at Smytham but it won't be our last. Grass pitches were wonderful and even. Camped with 3 kids and their favorites were the game room, the pool, and the fairy villages at the trees. Staff were incredibly friendly, grounds and facilities were spotless, and they have the best shower block I've ever seen at a campground. We all enjoyed our time and can't wait to come back!
Enjoyed another fabulous week here, with 3 other families; we all had en suite pitches and we were all pitched together; excellent facilities, lovely well maintained site in rural Devon. Made use of the Pig and Olive pizza van and also the Whiddon Wagon fish and chips - both excellent. The live music on Sunday was also enjoyed. The lovely outdoor pool was appreciated by some of the adults for the lane swim each morning enjoyed by the kids to cool off in the heat.Can’t fault anything here, hence our return each year!
Absolutely amazing site and would recommend and have recommended to many already!I really appreciated the fact that our dog could be at the pool.Extremely well priced, super clean and very friendly,
Friendly helpful staffGreat amenities, pool always cleanGreat accessibility to Tarka Bike trailPitches for motorhomes fully servicedAll-round great place to stay
Attractive and well maintained site - great location for access to north Devon and direct access to Tarka Trail. Pool was a boon in the unseasonably hot weather!
A small but lovely campsite with everything you need. We were not disappointed with any aspect of the site. Lovely site with a variety of pitch types. Clean facilities with plenty of room. Water tap by each tent is a bonus! Outdoor Pool was lovely and well kept. A god send in the heatwave we had whilst staying! Food trucks each night were a nice surprise. Staff were lovely and friendly.
Beautiful campsite, so clean, friendly staff, lovely pool and wonderful having en-suite pitch.

We do not like or want to told that we HAD to download an Electricity monitoring APP and that any site info again got by downloading the Smytham app. NO thank you to each. The elderly lady who 'greeted' us was overly insistent on everything she was telling us.The site is good - we got off to a dispiriting start with this person - The younger staff were great.
